I've tried to read all the posts on tethering my droid pro for free, but i'm still a lil confused. Does the wireless tether app only work with ad hoc networks? I'm want to use my nook color and droid pro together. I don't believe the nook color supports ad hoc networks.
I've tried using the pre-installed 3g mobile hotspot app, and my nook color can connect to it, but when I try to browse, nothing happens.

Let's ask a slightly different question. Can I use the droid pro as a USB/Bluetooth wifi device for my laptop?
There is a fix for the nook color so it can pick up ad hoc networks. I use my No color with my droid's tether all the time.

I cannot speak for the Nook, however while my company laptop does not allow connecting to ad-hoc networks, I am actually able to tether to my Droid Pro over Bluetooth using the PdaNet app.
Try wireless tether 2.0.5 from their web site.
2.0.6 downloaded from market does not work due to lack of netfilter module for NAT.
Hope it usefull for you.

Barnacle WiFi worked like a charm, I didn't even need to change any of the default settings.
Barnacle and wireless tether both work. I prefer barnacle since it will work without encryption but you can individually select allowed clients that have internet access through NAT assignment.
There is a "wpa_supplicant" file and toggle script that need to be installed on a root nook to support adhoc mode. There is a bug that requires toggling but once they fix it you will be able to support infrastructure and adhoc without having to rerun a script.
Instructions call for adb but I used quicksshd to scp files and run commands.

I recently rooted my EVO 4G and downloaded the wifi tethering app. So, a couple questions. 1. Is this an ad hoc network? 2. I dont think ps3 supports ad hoc networks, so is there a way to connect my laptop to my phone and have the laptop act as the AP (non ad hoc).
Nevermind, figured it out. I guess the android wireless tether app is not ad hoc. As my ps3 was able to connect. Worked extremely good by the way.
How did you do it? I need to test it with my G2 but with my slide the ps3 didn't even see the signal from my phone - or if it did, it didn't up on the connection list after scanning.

And how would you change the NAT settings to open using WiFi tether? Call of Duty black ops is on strict when using wifi tether, no lag or anything just hard to connected to friends???

Hey all,
Time Warner as cut me off, so I am now relying on tethering from my droid 2. The main devices I want to tether are a laptop and ps3. Only the ps3 I am assuming would be a bandwidth eater, the laptop is mainly on standby. Currently, I am using the 3G hotspot (green icon) and even browsing online is very slow. Is there any way to boost the connection speeds so it is somewhat "3G"?
Thanx
Try using the wireless tether for root users on the market

could you post a link...there are tons of tethers on the market, are you refering to the green wifi logo one?
You cannot use Wireless tether from the market as it uses Ad Hoc not Infrastructure (PS3 needs Infrastructure). The PS3 and Xbox consoles actually use an extremely small amount of bandwidth.
Now to your question I would reboot before tethering and make sure you use Fissions ROM or basically any ROM that cuts down on blur since blur draws a lot of data at random intervals. Also dial *228 and do option 2 to optimize your network.
Finally, if you live in a city there may be a lot of people using the same tower which could slow your speeds drastically.

That's not true as of the latest version. I downloaded the new version from the Market last night and it forced infrastructure mode.

Great find! Didn't know they finally added it!
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
can ya link to the latest version please?
Its in the market just search Wireless Tether, its the first one.
My PC doesn't work well with my phone in infrastructure mode, so I believe I'm one of the few that don't like it. There is also no option to change it back to ad-hoc, either.
Try using barnacle tether. Same thing (your phone is a wireless hotspot) but should use ad hoc.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
don't use access control on either of them because there is some kernel problem on the DROID2 and it dosen't allow access control or something so if you try to use it, it probably won't work or it will be super slow. Should be fine without AC though.
so with my minimal knowledge of phone stuffs ive kinda learned that when i run the wireless tether for root app on my phone it uses ad hoc to supply other computers with internet... basically im asking, will my evo be able to supply my xoom with internet?
Not at the moment, no support for Ad-Hoc networks in HC, not sure if there ever will be - very annoying.
I'm not sure but I believe there is a new version of Wireless Tether that will allow such a connection. When I first tried the Kindle connecting to my DX, it wouldn't connect. With the new version, it does.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
My Xoom connects to my DX with no problems.
Go download Wireless Tether from the website. The experimental one is called Wifi Tether now. Works like a charm for infrastructure mode so that the Xoom can tether with your phone. Also Bluetooth seems to work fine as well.

Is the Wireless tether for the phone or the Xoom (or both)? I need an option for the iPhone in case the steps posted here won't work!
is this an app that enables ad-hoc detection on the Xoom,
or
does it just provide a full wifi hotspot tethering feature for Android devices?
I also use an iPhone which supplies an ad-hoc hotspot connection that I need my Xoom to recognize and connect to.
So does that mean you got it to work that way? Is the app available through the Market?
No its not available in the market. Google wireless tether and look for wifi tether. The new app sends the signal via infrastructure mode. I think it applies to certain phone like Droid X and EVO.

The Wireless Tether app is ran on the host phone wanting to be turned into a wifi hotspot. There are certain phones that run in Ad-Hoc mode in default (aka Droid 1) and the only option to tether the Xoom to them is via bluetooth. As others have said, the new version "WiFi Tether" is apparently enabling infrastructure mode rather than Ad-hoc mode, something that the Xoom can actually connect to.
There is no app that you install on the Xoom. When the WiFi Tether is ran on the host device, the Xoom just connects to it as a WiFi router and works just fine (or bluetooth if thats what you're doing).
So OP, if you can't get the new version of WiFi tether to work for you and your Xoom, try the Bluetooth tethering option, it's been shown in detail in a thread here how to do it, and it should work just fine.

The app is for android, and for the host device not the Xoom, so you'll need to Bluetooth tether your iPhone.
wpa_supplicant
I understand exactly what the OP is talking about, as i'm trying to do the same thing. What makes matters worse, is that ad-hoc connections ARE possible in android. Meaning android can connect to ad-hoc networks, but it requires swapping out the wpa_suppplicant file in system/bin with a modified one that doesn't filter out ad-hoc networks.
i've even tested this on my EVO, and it connects to other android phones incapable of broadcasting in infrastructure mode, it even connects to my ubuntu netbook broadcasting in ad-hoc...
(if you want to see what i'm talking, just search the forums for wpa_supplicant, something will turn up )
I've tried doing the same "fix" with my xoom, but it doesn't take. Using ADB or root explorer, i've replaced the orignal (making sure to save a copy just in case) and fixed permissions to 775, but it doesn't take. The wifi antenna will turn on, but it doesn't find anything once being replaced, not even saved networks or access points. I can get wifi back by restoring my backup, but i'm at a loss as to why it doesn't work on the xoom (3.0) but does with my evo (2.3).
as a side note, i'm using the right replacement for the wpa version returned by entering
"wpa_supplicant -v" in a terminal emulator or adb. It returns version v0.6.10 and there is a working, modified, v0.6.10 that should make things work, but doesn't....
anyway, if anyone has any input, i would love to hear it!
I am in the same boat. Regardless of whatever permission settings I have tried (mentioned in the dev forums that I can't yet post in), I still get a dead wifi with the new supplicant file.
Ah, I feel better now. It must have been the supplicant file, as I found this other one and it worked without permission modifications first time out.
You will have to google "xoom supplicant" and use the file found on the first response (android.net)-I can't post the link- the downside to attitude having, overlord type forums is inability for new users to provide any help, or at least with any convenience.
i try connecting my xoom to my computer, and it wouldn't work. i have the "Intel My Wifi Technology" but each time i set up a connection, the xoom finds it, but will take like a minute trying to connect and all i see on the xoom is "Obtaining IP address". it shows on my computer that a new device is connected. maybe this only works computer to computer. cuz i have had success with another laptop connecting to my computer with no problem.
I am using the Launchpad kernel and the WPASupplicant file and am connected to my phone's ad-Hoc network now. I used the beta Wi-Fi Tether and it worked great, but crashed my Samsung Galaxy S at least twice a day. So I installed the WPA file without setting any special permissions, just used Root Explorer to copy it an it worked fine.
Is there a way to connect on a ad-hoc hostet by a laptop (win7) yet?
That would be interesting, cause if it work this way, it will work for every phone or something else!
Hey Guys,
i am having a little problem. i am using the Intel My Wifi Technology. and i don't know if i am doiing something wrong or this is just not possible. but i try connecting my xoom to my laptop, and it is not working or connecting. i get a message on the xoom that say's Obtaining IP address", but nothing happen on the xoom. is this not yet possible on the xoom. i don't know if this is consider ad-hoc network or not, cuz i am new to all this.
but here is the link to intel website for the program i am using as a wifi hotspot.
http://www.intel.com/products/wireless/mywifi.htm
and here is a video of what the program does.

anyone with knowlwdge on this please help me understand what i am doing wrong or not doing. or even if this is a possibility.
If you're not opposed to rooting your Xoom, here's another option. I just unlocked and rooted my WiFi-only Xoom yesterday, and inserted the supplicant file in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
It works like a charm! I'm running a WinMo Touch Pro 2 with WMWiFiRouter, and the Xoom now sees and properly connects to Ad Hoc networks. And, it still works with all other networks.
I don't know which way you prefer to attack the problem (from the Xoom or the phone), but I've been thrilled ever since I got all this done yesterday. Everything else on the Xoom is great, and now I've got the working SD card as well.

Is it right that you host a Wifi on your computer and tether internet to you tablet? I think its the usual problem android and ad-hoch, witch not work!
Ok, so I am using ZT180 Adhoc Switcher to connect to my Galaxy S II's (Epic 4G Touch) 4G webs via Wireless Tether.
I am able to use facebook, Words with Friends, Google Reader (not perfect), the Market and many other apps' web capabilities without a problem. i.e. Facebook works as it would on a wifi network.
However, many of my apps don't recognize my internet connection even though it is there. So, is there anything I can do to make all of my apps recognize my wireless tether connection or am I stuck using the select few that work?
Search search search search. This tells you how to set up a infrastructure network.

I'm using ZT180 to switch from Infrastructure to Adhoc so I can tether. That part is taken care of. I have internet on my Kindle from my phone.
The problem is that some apps recognize it and some apps don't.
The point is, you don't NEED to use adhoc at all. Setting up the phone as I already explained in the other thread and it will be set up in infrastructure mode, and the Kindle will connect with no issue.

Ahhh, that makes sense. Should have read more into it.
Well I finally got Wireless Tether beta working, but I'm having the same problem where apps such as Dolphin Browser will not work, but Facebook will.
I'm using an Infrastructure connection, but many apps will not recognize it anyway...
Do I need to uninstall the ZT180 switcher in order to remove files from system/etc/wifi??
My wifi icon still has the small 'x' in the right hand corner.
I would try to remove it. I tether to my phone all the time and have no issues with Dolphin or any other apps.

I uninstalled the app and deleted the "tiwlan.ini_ZTO..." that came with it, but I still see the ZT180 Adhoc Switcher and Warning AdHoc_Mode as wireless networks that i can connect to...
Epic Touch 4g has various issues with infrastructure mode. Best answer I can give you is to install a recovery and flash blazer rom. Its Sprint hotspot fully supports 4G infrastructure mode.

Wow, I can't believe I overlooked this. I'm running Blazer 3.2 and previously i had looked in the Wireless and Network settings for the Hotspot settings, but since it was not there I had just assumed PhantomHacker left it out of the build.
long story short - i activated the Sprint Hotspot app that was in my app drawer and it's working flawlessly!
Thanks so much! Surely I won't be charged from Sprint for this? I'll post in the Blazer forum as well.
Sorry for the late reply, but ive been running the hotspot for a whole wig no ill effects

Is there an app working for wifi tethering on x10 ?
Barnacle Wi-Fi Tether - search on google play
the X10 for tethering. Try PdaNet
If you're trying to transfer phone internet to the computer via a usb cable, you could try using PdaNet.
I've been using it for some years now and its worked great! Just a simple run on android and run on pc and your connected.
There is also the built in tethering that some android phones have. Personally, I've never been able to find it in the settings menu so I had to install a shortcut to it.
You can look up "Tethering Shortcut" in the market and use that to access the menu.
If you meant internet on the computer via wifi tethering, you can try Baracle Wifi Tethering.
The application does require root, but if your willing to, I've heard the application works wonders.
Some phones also have the option for making a hotspot with the phone.
If you want to try, you can install that "Tethering Shortcut" I meantion earlier and seeing if it includes a menu for activating the hotspot.

I use FoxFi. It tethers over Wi-Fi. You don't need a rooted phone or a specialized plan to use it. It's free in the Play store.
